## Overview

The Gransfors Bruk Splitting Maul is a 31.5-inch, 7.9-pound premium splitting axe forged in Sweden. Featuring a concave, thin alloy steel blade designed for quick, efficient splitting of thick, knotty wood, it boasts a grooved hickory handle with a protective steel collar for durability and grip. Included is a vegetable-tanned leather sheath and an English Axebook, with a rare 20-year guarantee, making it a lifetime investment for serious woodworkers and outdoor professionals.

## Description

The Gransfors Splitting Maul can be used for splitting very thick and knotty chunks of wood. It is forged and ground to a concave, quite thin blade at the bit. The axe cuts quickly and easily into the wood and then effectively splits it as the broader section pushes apart the wood. Its weight and sturdy poll with bevelled corners make the maul perfect for striking a wedge. Otherwise, the design is similar to the Larger Splitting Axe, but with a slightly longer poll. The handle has a protective steel collar below the axe head and circular grooves towards the end for an extra firm grip. The Splitting Maul is the heaviest axe produced by Gränsfors Bruk. Comes with English language Axebook.

Review: I don't mean to split hairs. . . - Nov 2016 My initial run with this Splitting Maul is good. When I got the Maul undug from its well packed tomb; which I'm grateful for that. (My Maul was either sold by desertcart themselves or it was sold for the customer by desertcart) Anyways, when I got this tool out of its packaging, that's what she said?.. . I noticed it had a VERY KEEN cutting edge.. I was like, "I wonder if I can shave my arm hair off with this? It looks sharp enough." And all be danged, I never expected to remove hair with a maul, but that was how sharp it arrived. I'm not saying that you'll get that level of sharpness when yours arrives, because this product is produced in quantity,but that's some attention to detail! Anyways, looking at the handle, it had a very nice grain all the way down. I'm not a pro but I've heard that's a sign of quality. The Maul head was very secure on the handle. Great sign! The balance, weight ratio to length of the handle seemed pretty good. The actual area on the handle that you would hold, Gransfors Bruks worked in some small but noticeable gripping ridges, or ripples.. (I'm not sure what to call it exactly) Make's holding securely to the maul, when your in full swing, a bit easier. So that's always a good thing! The metal guard around the maul handle was interesting, a very welcomed practical guard, because I can lay claim to a goof up or two when splitting logs (with a no name old splitting maul)..one of those those goof ups where, you hit the wedge and something moves on you and the handle of your maul ends up kissing the wedge your using to split a difficult log.. yeah those are never fun. So it's a nice well thought addition. What arrived on or with the Splitting maul, was a leather guard for the maul head. And 'The Axe Book' which I have only glanced through. The book seems to give a run down on the current company's leadership view on things related to there craft. Gives some advice on maintaining your splitting maul. It also shows different types of axes. The book is 5x5 inches or there about, and maybe 1/4" thick. The font is pretty big, so easy to read. Has a few high quality Black and White images.. quite a few illustrations in the book as well. The most important thing in the book though, is probably the fact it mentions a '20 year guarantee'... if my ISP had given me a guarantee 20 years ago that I'd have fiber internet service today, well I'd have a quality internet connection by now! I guess mentioning that seems random,. . . Not really; where I'm going with this, is the fact.. It's RARE to have that kind of guarantee with a tool today, or 20 years ago! Even if you spend quite a bit of money. You might get a 5 year guarantee if your lucky! Also your ISP is just going to spout nonsense about how you don't want faster and better quality internet service for decades..because can't is easier to say than can, because with can, you have to think! This is my knee jerk reaction with limited usage. Seems like a quality tool. Worth the money so far. I'll try to remember to give an update on how this splitting maul is holding up after more usage. Update: March 2018 So I've had this 5-1/2 pound splitting maul awhile now, and it's gotten a LOT of usage, from splitting wild cherry, to oak, and locust, and maple... I also bought one of Gransfors Bruks "Wedges" as well around the time that I bought this 5-1/2lb splitting maul. I have not had to use the Splitting wedge at all so far. I've purely used the maul. The widest wood I have split, with this maul, has probably been 20" wide.. Any bigger & unless your a body builder, I think physics would just be working against you. Do to the head design on the Maul, its been great for splitting.This 5-1/2lb maul vs the 8lb maul my father uses, I seem more productive with this lighter maul. PLUS this maul has a better designed head, the angles are sharper, so it REALLY bites into the wood and splits in one action. Where as I got more resistance with the 8lb maul, do to the head design, it was just too blunt shaped. I'm still tickled with my purchase. I've been trying to take care of my tool so it takes care of me. I did screw up once over my two years of usage, & that metal collar around the handle worked really really well.
Review: A Quality Maul Throughout - Gransfors Bruks Splitting Maul I agree with the previous comments of praise. This maul is truly a work of art. I proudly hang it up on my workshop wall when not in use. I have been splitting firewood for 35+ years with an old conventional 8 lbs. maul, an old 12 lbs. "Monster Maul" and a few inexpensive iron wedges. All have served me well through the years. However as I enter into my 60s, my upper body just "isn't what it used to be". The old 12 lbs. monster maul especially has become a little tougher for me to swing effectively. After using this maul and the GB splitting wedge 460 for a month or so to split about a cord of oak wood, I will offer the following comments. The Gransfors Bruks (GB) 450 maul has a beautifully forged, well shaped and sharpened 5½ lbs. head. The hickory handle is also well shaped and fits well into my hands. The grooved handle is an added bonus. The entire maul is well balanced and feels good to use. It is obvious the GB folks put some thought, pride and individual attention into the making of this piece. This is NOT some inexpensive, mass produced piece found at your typical home improvement store. Don't let that smaller 5½ lbs. head fool you! For me, this maul package actually has much more splitting power than my older mauls. I can generate more maul head speed for more power. It is basic physics. Energy = Mass Times Velocity Squared. In other words; if the velocity is doubled, the resultant energy delivered is quadrupled. Simple, effective and satisfying wood splitting is achieved - no gimmicks. There is also a metal collar below the maul head to protect the hickory handle against over strikes. Yes, it protects well - I over struck a few rounds! The only very minor drawback is if the wood round is large or stubborn and will not split, the GB head sticks deep in the wood, but removal is not difficult. Just go at it again and the round will eventually split. The old monster mauls will simply bounce back. The reason is the GB head is sharpened and angled more acutely than the more traditional wood splitting mauls. Solution for the big, tough, hard to split rounds - team the GB maul up with the also high quality GB splitting wedge 460 or two, and you will have a beautiful arsenal of wood splitting tools. If taken care of with good common sense, they should last a lifetime. Expensive - yes of course. But to me, worth every penny.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: In the picture it shows a metal shield on the neck of the handel - does it come with that?**
A: Yes, all Gransfors splitting mauls and axes come with a metal shield on the neck of the handle. Thank you

**Q: Can anyone compare this to the Fiskars X27 Splitting axe? To me it's the ULTIMATE axe of all times. Cuts through everything. Thanks.**
A: If you ever use one you will never go back the only thing is they could put a longer collar guard just for over strikes. I have never used a fiskars but I know when you hold one of these in your hand you know it is made by hand by somebody that take's pride in their work. I have split about 25 cords and just sharped 3 times. It holds a great edge. I know it's a bit pricey but I think you get what you pay for here.

**Q: Is there a link to a replacement handle for this axe?**
A: I wish that Amazon STILL let us comment to each other as customers. That was such a wonderful social aspect of this site. Where customers could REALLY help one another! 

Anyways, moving on, I am SO curious why you need a handle replacement? 

B/c I've owned this tool & I've accidentally hit the neck of the handle, right below the maul head, on the edge of logs, on the edge of "wedges" I've used.. & it's held up really good b/c of that metal guard around the neck.

So if you've read this far. Thanks. There is no link to a replacement handle that I know of.

YOUR BEST BET, in this particular case, would to be search locally.. & see if you can find yourself a good handle. 

I know you could ALSO go to their website though & contact them, through email, explain your situation, and they could probably guide you in the right direction?

Gransfors Bruk, has both a English website & Swedish website, so you'd have to hit the right one. 

Good luck with endeavors!

**Q: how well does it work on hardwoods (oad, hickory, etc.)?**
A: It worked great on cherry. I haven't tried it on the other woods yet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What more can I say about this maul that others haven't?
*by Z***Y on September 4, 2013*

To answer that question, my first thought is, if you're not an experienced axe/maul/sledge hammer user, buy yourself the Fiskars splitting axe first (either the regular or super)..... The Gransfors Bruks splitting maul is almost too beautiful to put to wood.... especially for a green woodsman. From the imperfections that are the tell tale signs of a crafted forge, to the beautifully finished and fitted handle; from the pride of the forgers' initials, to the branding mark of the manufacturer on the wood, this piece of tool speaks volumes of the old world craftmanship and attention to pertinent details. It swings beautifully with its balance and it splits crisply with its geometry and its razor edge. Obviously, you'll need to learn the capabilities of this tool and its limitations since hand tools are not easily judged simply by a lable of its horse power. Through experience, you'll learn when a log is ready for splitting and how much force to swing for each individual piece; to get the job done efficiently, cleanly, and know how to avoid biting off more than the tool can chew. Yeah, I learned the hard way; it is also the natural way..... and got frustrated over getting the maul stuck in wood too big for its weight. I swung a sledge over the maul to finish the job when I should have used additional splitting wedges; I over swung at times and scared myself as the head rushed cleanly through the log and continued into the ground..... All things you don't really want to do to a pricey, well crafted tool. So.... If you're a newbie, learn the craft with an alternative, well built tool that will be your 'first car' so to speak. Less expensive, less ache when you mar it up, and teaches you appreciation when you're ready to move up to a classic... When your skills have matured and you are still stoked by the art and zen of wood splitting, then get your hands on one of these beauties and emerse yourself in the pleasures of being out in nature and being one with your Gransfors Bruks splitting maul. Additional note as of 9/28/2013.... When you run into logs that are too big for this maul, you'll either need a couple of splitting wedges and a sledge hammer or use a larger eight pound splitting maul. You'll know when a log is too big for this maul when it simply gets stuck in the log when you swing it with maximum controlled force and the wood simply would not split. I've found that an eight pound splitting maul is about as big as you'd want to go with since it is hard to countrol anything bigger safely. When a log can't be split with an eight pounder, it's time to resort to a hydraulic splitter.
